A knochenbrecher is basically a massive two handed “kriegsmesser” (war knife), clearly dedicated to a brutal fencing of devastating chopping blows. Unlike the greatsword, which features a similar length and weight, the knochenbrecher is characterized by a wide and thick single-edged blade and is usually regarded as a non-noble weapon. It means its typical wielders are professional mercenaries: in well-trained hands, the knochenbrecher excels in truncating pikes and lances, as well as arms, legs and heads of the enemies.

A knochenbrecher is around 20 inches longer than a Kriegsmesser, and is too large for a Medium-size creature to use with two hands without special training; thus, it is an exotic weapon.

A Medium-size creature with Exotic Weapon Proficiency can use use a knochenbrecher two handed without penalty. 
A Medium-size creatures proficient with martial weapons can use a knochenbrecher in two hands with a -2 penalty to attack rolls and can use it with one hand with a -10 penalty to attack rolls.

A Large-size creature could use the knochenbrecher with one hand, but would be assessed the standard -4 non-proficiency penalty to its attack rolls, or with two hands as a martial weapon. A Large-size creature with the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat can use the Knochenbrecher in one hand.
